Why Games Are Important by Quintin age 7¼

Share this:

Uncle Kerion says I am NEVER TOO YOUNG to help with his work! I want to help uncle Kerion with work because I don’t like it when it is difficult to sleep because he is downstairs and being very loud and saying rude words about the TAX MAN, so I have written a story that he can put in his WORLD WIDE WEB SITE that will mean he has more money.

My name is Quintin Smith and I am 7 and a quarter years old and I think computer games are very important.
I think computer games are important because they have places which are not like where we live. For example I have the computer game 7TH GUEST and it is a scary game with ghosts, but I don’t think there are ghosts in real life. But I like ghosts, so I think it is sad that there are no ghosts and I think that it is nice that a computer game can show us what it would be like if there were ghosts. But I do not like the puzzles in 7TH GUEST because they are bad.

There are also the DIZZY games which I have three of. I have DIZZY: PRINCE OF THE YOLKFOLK and CRYSTAL KINGDOM DIZZY and SPELLBOUND DIZZY but I don’t like SPELLBOUND DIZZY because it has bees in. The DIZZY games are important because you can explore forests and castles and they are full of things like animals and people with problems but I went to a forest once with my dad and it was BORING and didn’t have anything in it not even a squirrel.

There is also the game JAMES POND 2: CODENAME ROBOCOD which I have and in it you can run around a castle and everything is made of Penguin bars but I don’t know why.

Please wait because I have to go and get a glass of fizzy orange.

I’m back! That’s better.

I think computer games are important because you can choose your powers. A game doesn’t care who you are in real life. For example if you are 8 years old you can be really strong in a game and if you are not very clever then you can be really smart and it doesn’t matter! In a game you can do anything.

I think computer games are important because they are fun. When I am playing MONKEY ISLAND and SIM CITY I am having fun and I don’t care about anything else. I like being happy. Uncle Kerion says that means I am clever, but don’t understand why.

I think computer games are important because when I am playing them I don’t think about school or my sister or anything, and I like that. I once told uncle Kerion that if he was sad about the tax man maybe he should play MASTER OF ORION with me because it would make him not think about anything. Then I had a good idea that we could send the tax man our MASTER OF ORION because then he would stop thinking about being mean to uncle Kerion and that would be okay because I don’t know how to play it anyway.

I think computer games are important because when I think about a world where there are no games I get sad and when I grow up I just want to play games ALL DAY!

Thank you for reading! I hope you give lots of money to uncle Kerion lots and lots of £££££££££££

Research suggests the problem is the most common nutritional disorder in the country, with about a quarter of infants not getting enough iron. The main cause is the use of cow’s milk in babies under one year old, coupled with a reduction in red meat consumption and increase in vegetarianism.

I don’t know what’s more awesome about this piece. The piece itself, or the fact that in about five minutes, John will read it, realize the Playstation one was about to be launched when Quinns was this old and then weep at the passing of his own years and start mumbling how kids today don’t know they’re born.

Uncle Kerion turned up today, he’s an odd old man and he smells a bit of tuna and lilac, but I don’t mind because with him comes his wondrous bag of things, indescribable sights, peeks of a world I’ve never seen. Sometimes he leaves something with me, a token present or a toy. I wish he wouldn’t grin at me so, it’s so unnerving. What goes on in his head? What does he know?

Today he drew a mirror out of his bag, an old, ornate thing. But whatever it reflects is twisted, strange, and different. I feel compelled by it, and I whiled away most of the day just peering into its murky, questionable depths. But the time my mother woke me from this ensorcelled state, the old man was gone, and left was this strange mirror…

Thanks mind, I will now always think of Kieron Gillen as an old guy who smells of lilac and tuna.

There is this place I like, it’s called Rock, Paper, Shotgun. It’s okay Santa, don’t pull faces, it says shotgun but it’s not all nasty and violent. Well, it is sometimes but it’s run by nice men!

They are good men, and they are at their best on April 1st. So, Santa… hey, um… do you think you could find a way to fit April 1st into the year twice? Maybe three times??? You’re magic and all, so if anyone could make it happen it’s you, right??

My mom helped me writing this letter, she’s a very nice lady. We both agree that the year should go April 1st more than once.

Quins! I know this is hard to understand at your age, but somehow I’ve been able to deliver a warning into the past! Heed me well young Quins, in the future, YOU WILL NEED MORE IRON. This is important!
